HD System Components
There are three main components of the HD system. They are the DIRECTV PLUS™ satellite
dish antenna (not included), the DST-3000 receiver, and the remote control.

The satellite dish antenna, such as the
Toshiba HSD-3, is the component that
receives the digital signals. It must be
mounted to a solid outdoor surface that
allows a clear view of the southern sky.

need to adjust it again.
Professional installation of the satellite dish antenna is strongly recommended. This is
recommended to help ensure your personal safety, compliance with electrical codes, and
compliance with all specifications. The proper installation and aiming of the dish antenna is
critical for proper operation. To arrange professional installation, please contact your
dealer. Refer to the instructions included with the satellite dish for more details.
